Important Meeting Tuesday, Feb 23

Reedy Creek Coalition needs your help NOW! We oppose DPU’s planned Reedy Creek restoration. Come to the meeting Tuesday night to learn more and show your support for our position. Contact your council members to let them know your concerns. (Our previous posts are good sources of information for your communications.)

Reedy Creek Coalition has educated many you on how stormwater runoff affects the creek; we’ve helped some of you qualify for grant money to create features to hold your stormwater on your property. All because reducing stormwater runoff is the first step, with the goal of stream restoration in the distant future.

Reedy Creek has a problem with erosion, yes. Large amounts of stormwater runoff making its way through the creek, gathering force and speed as it races through the concrete channels. Then plowing its way through the natural channel, dumping its load into the lake at Forest Hill Park. There the sediment builds up and eventually, if not dredged, will once again create a wetlands.

There are solutions to the problem, but DPU’s plan adds to the problem. Let’s convince DPU and the City Council to discard this seriously flawed plan , which, if implemented, could cause great damage, at great cost.
